What does all this mean?
If big wheels have the same rolling circumference as stock, it wont put any more stress on your tranny.
The only thing that MIGHT, would be a heaver rim.
Think about it, if larger rims strained transmissions that bad, wouldnt everyone be using stock size rims?

Sorry I did not explain it as detailed as I should have
basically once the rolling circumference of the wheel is maintained, he should have no probs
light weight rims are always better when going large diameter rims - 16's, 17's & 18's

So...... i didnt come in here to knock on anyone, i came in here to answer this guy's question.

But just a little advice from me to you, get your **** together man. If youre gonna tell someone some advice, at least get all of your facts straight, to avoid another person proving you wrong.
So, with all due respect, I proved my point, so im gonna squash this issue right now.

As long as you don't go over .4" either side of the OEM sizing, there shouldn't be too much of a problem. No noticable difference in the sppedo, no more stress on internals, but a way nicer look....
And for all you geeks out there, if you really want to do the homework yourself, here goes.....
Just say your original tires are 195/70R15, to do the math and find out the overall diameter of the tire you would use this calculation:
Width divided by 25.4 multiplied by the aspect ratio and add it to the rim size.
So it would be ((195/25.4)x70%)+15 that would make the overall diameter 28.05"
For the 18's it would be:
((205/25.4)*35%)+18 The overall diameter is 28.89"
Seeing as the overall difference is more then .4 of an inch, you may notice a difference in speedometer readings, and while it may not seem like much, it would add extra stress on the vehicle. I honestly don't know the OEM sizing on Lancers, I am ashamed to admit, but if the numbers I stated were dead on, then 18's might not be the best idea for longevity, but DAMN would they look good. With that said, a set of 205/40R17's have an overall size of 28.29", and with that being within .4 of an inch to the original size, there would be absolutely no effects on the speedometer, fuel economy, or the engine wear. I think to hit it off with 18's, you would have to have a rubber band on the tires. A 205/30R18 might be the proper fitment for 18's, being right at the borderline of 28.4". Hope that helped a bit, it's nice to know I actually learned something from installing tires... LOL

Anyone know if 225 wide tires can fit on a back ES 2004?
I currently have 205/40/17, front and rear (btw they fit perfectly on mine and I haven`t had any problems with them), and just want to upgrade them with new ones and probably a bit bigger. I know that you can't install wider that 215 on a front, but not sure about rear side. Anyone know?
